About 5 weeks ago, I was able to spend some time in the vicinity of Chinchilla and Miles hoping to find some waterways where I could fish with lures from my kayak. However, the waters were still very cloudy as a result of the recent heavy rain. I tried both weirs at these towns and no success. Charleys Creek and Rocky Creek were also tried.
I went further north to visit relatives past Wandoan and visited the Dawson River just east of Taroom. The river was still flowing and obviously quite dirty. I spoke to a number of anglers in the area who advised that lures are not recommended in these waters due to the quality of the water.
I was hoping to get some views from this forum regarding the use of lures. I was told that the Dawson River usually clears well after a flood. If that is so, I would certainly like to return when it settles.
Can someone tell me if the Dawson River has cleared yet?
